turn signal problem
I was working on getting all the lights working on my 79. Got the tail lights, back up lights and side markers all working. Checked the signals and they worked EXCEPT the left dash indicator. Got the fronts working also. Then checked the signals again....nothing! I pulled the flasher at the fuse box and tested the contacts with the turn signal on. I didnt have voltage at either contact at the fuse box. Does the flasher have a fuse in the circuit also? Any other ideas? Thanks Ken

so the signals all work except for the indicator on the dash? Bad bulb, connection or wire. Have you checked the bulb?
Or did everything work then suddenly no front or rear signals? What year is your car?

Sorry I wasnt more clear on my post. I was working on the back lights first. Got them working. They all worked except the left dash indicator. (probably the bulb). I didnt have any lights installed up front yet as this has been a project car for many years. I installed all the bulbs with dielectric grease and got them all to light up. Thats when I tried the signals again and they wouldnt work. Since they worked with just the back lights only Im going to remove them all today, install a new flasher and try them again. I was also wondering if there is a fuse in that circuit I should check but It would only protect the flasher circuit since the other lights still work. My car is a 1979. Let me know if you need any more info. Thanks Ken

The running lights are separate from the signal and brake lights in the rear. Not in the front

Im feeling "thick" today! LOL Are you saying it would be fuse "F" in the fuse panel diagram? Because I dont see a fuse that says brake or signal....only stop and hazard. Thanks for your patience. Ken

Thanks, my location just isnt getting any better either, unfortunately. You want P= DIR SIG & back up lamps. Direction signal
